Unable to access Identity Module MBeans directly in 2.6 Beta

[czhao07]

I am working on upgrading our portal application from 2.4 to 2.6 Beta1, one issue I have is the following code no longer works:

 ...
 @Depends("portal:service=Module,type=User")
 private RoleModule roleModule;
 ...

When I deploy the application, it complaints that portal:service=Module,type=User is not yet installed, although I could find the MBean in the JMX Console.

Then I read the reference documentation, and it recommends accessing Identity Modules using JNDI or IdentitIdentityServiceController. As I want to avoid JNDI lookup code in my application, I chose to use IdentityServiceController:

 ...
 @Depends("portal:service=Module,type=IdentityServiceController")
 private IdentityServiceController identityServiceController;
 ...

 UserModule userModule = (UserModule)identityServiceController.getIdentityContext().getObject(IdentityContext.TYPE_USER_MODULE);
 ...

Although it works fine now, but I do think it is kinda ugly. Is there any better to do this in JBoss Portal 2.6 Beta1.

Thanks.

The first code block actually is:

 ...
 @Depends("portal:service=Module,type=User")
 private UserModule userModule;
 ...

Sorry for the confusion.

Never mind, I am using @Resource annotation and it is much cleaner.

 ...
 @Resource(mappedName="java:/portal/UserModule")
 private UserModule userModule;
 ...
